This Christmas I was given the following horrible thing! But it's the thought that counts!

Not quite like this - but similar! If anyone wants it, it's free to a good home - otherwise it will be going to charit

    Ooooo ali, isnt that so.............. erm...........thoughtful!

    I was given a floral box which contained 'vintage rose' toiletries, the kind that might bring me out in a rash?? The MIL thought that it was fitting with my vintage floral theme for wedding.. (????)

    As soon as I know there's a raffle somewhere.........

    oh and the 'biker jacket' that OH gave me, really suited the Jordan-esque model on the website but in a size 16 it doesnt have the same effect!

    My mother gave me a *bag in a bag* thing - its a nylon bag folded v. small inside a little pocket.

    Useful if you're about 75.

    But I'm not.

    And more amusingly, my 23 year old sister got a matching one from *santa*

    I got a delightful pair of slippers from my dad, although have a feeling my stepmum picked them. Mini ugg boot style but in a shimmery white colour with diamante buckles on the side! Thankfully Mum bought me normal slippers!

    H2B got a lovely pair of forest green moleskin trousers from his nan. He won't be wearing them very often... ?

    I didn't get any present monstrosities this year, which was nice!?
